  • Hi i installed Webroot on my son's computer and then installed net nanny. After a day or so; all access is blocked to the internet. If i uninstall net nanny access is restored. I have spoken with netnanny support and tried reinstalling with webroot disabled - however, the same issue keeps coming up.
  • Uninstall everything that starts with 'Microsoft.NET,' doing newest versions first. Note: Windows 8, 8.1, and 10 systems do not list 'Microsoft.NET' as an installed program. Looking at 'View installed updates' in Programs and Features in Windows 8 and 8.1, it may be possible to find the corresponding KB number and remove it that way.
